FCP 5 will allow you to raise levels while capturing, however FCP 4 won’t… I’d suggest you record with more level in the first place, or you can duplicate your audio clips so that you can raise level during editing if raising just one layer of this audio isn’t enough.

Perform a Match Frame on the first frame of a clip in the Canvas so it opens in the Viewer. Then replace the shot only mapping the audio to where you want it to go…

You could perform a match frame of the video that has the tc you want to watch, then gang the clips…?? the TC window in the Viewer then would be the source TC moving along, right?

Yeah, they are on a separate disk alright. Sure you don’t have them? Can’t download them don’t think, but a call to AppleCare might help. Maybe they’ll send you another disk with proof of purchase.?

Export them in FCP HD with the media manager (don’t change codecs either keep them what they were DV?) if you want to optimize them… however they’ll still work without doing this, just not give you as much real time effect playback if you don’t. You can also just turn off the warning.

Make sure that you are running the latest OS (10.3.8) QuickTime 6.5.2 and FCP HD in tandem for starters…

I organize my files like this:
Project files: User’s documents folder. I keep a folder for each client, then a folder inside that one for each project. I keep things like Motion projects or LiveType projects in that same project folder when they relate to that FCP project…
Media files (including renders) I keep by simply selecting the drive I want them to reside in. FCP will automatically create folders inside three folders named the same as your project files names.The first of these is a folder called “Capture Scratch” then it creates two more folders called “Renders” (which hold your video renders) and “Audio Renders” which is self explanatory. Inside each of these are folders named the same as your project file which contain the media associated with any given project file. So all you need to select in the scratch disk settings is the disk itself… create no folders yourself… it’s automatically arranged and done for you by FCP.
What’s left is Autosaves, Waveforms, and Thumbnails. These you should keep in your user’s documents folder.
That’s really all there is to keeping things straight in the future. I also put any media files like tiffs or audio files from CD etc. inside the capture scratch folder that is named the same as your project file. That way, all media is in the same folder or set of folders if you need more than one drive to hold all the media for a given project.
You should be able to simply drag and drop files you want to reorganize, but if they are media files they’ll need reconnecting next time you open the project file that they belong to…

Don’t think so in either question.
